Under the Dome

I checked their web site to see if it had been sold yet again, perhaps to the Mt. Wilson Observer, but discovered what appeared to be a new issue online.
This week's cover image, a commercial graphic of Teh Hunter, piqued my curiosity ... only to find it pimps a feature that has absolutely nothing to do with Thompson, but instead exalts ... museum gift shops.

Wow. Way to blow the lid off that one, guys.

UPDATE: Just struck up a conversation with a route carrier for another weekly publication. He had been interested in picking up another route and delivering the PW, but related (now third-hand) horror stories and wasn't surprised they weren't out on the street today.

OUCH!!! Nice shot Todd. I would point out however, that outside of the cover today you guys have almost no Pasadena coverage in today's SN. I looked at the first 14 pages and I only see two Pasadena stories, that's Cortney's well-written story and the interesting story by Elise on the sand dunes. What gives?

Touche! Don't tell me you didn't see the K-Todd freshness re:Ritz-Carlton, where you could be taken right into LACERA's HQ as I stalked the executive floor seeking comment?

K-Todd freshness.. Nice. Where the hell is the P-Dub? I want to brag to my co-workers about me being in the paper.

I've been a fan of the PW since forever. As in drive out of my way to find one--back in the day. Frankly, K-Todd, I think it is time to ask AP to set up a publisher-to-publisher duel and settle this issue once and for all. Words schwmords.

Editor vs. editor? Kevin U vs. Larry W. for Pasadena newsy bragging rights? Maybe you need to throw James McPherson in for good measure? Spitballs at 10 paces? Paul (the real one, not the pretender, not even the Spanish language one)
